Really enjoyed working at Enbridge Gas Distribution, other people in my family work there as well. they provide a great wage and benefits. Was very upset when my contract ended. Would love to work there again.

Support Business Assistant (Current Employee), Alberta – December 16, 2014

Pros: good pay

Cons: only hire contractors and fire them on a whim

The executive management is awesome and they have a stable business plan for many years. The problem with Enbridge is their direct reporting managers are either not real people leaders or not educated about the tasks and work flow. The business tools and the work processes are in transit constantly. I don't like the fact that they only hire contractors and fire them at a whim regularly. It is a difficult choice to stay here when the pay and benefits are good but the management needs a lot of improvement. Way too much politics! I like the safety culture.

Pros: standing working station/ergonomic awareness, full gym, new building, location

Enbridge is a great and fun place to work. I enjoyed how much they promote and incorporate safety inside out and outside the workplace. I will continue to apply all that I have learned from working there.

The wage is good, but since they started hiring on a contract basis only there are no benefits. When the contract is up which is 3-4 months you are done there and they will advertise for hires again on contract basis. A revolving door!

Work-life balance? It does not exist at Enbridge...but you will get paid well!

Support Services (Former Employee), Edmonton – July 24, 2014

Pros: great salary and benefits

Cons: zero work-life balance, long hours, politics

With 7 years of service, I made the choice to leave because I was tired of regularly working 11 hours days (2.5 of those unpaid...there is no overtime at Enbridge for salaried employees). This was the norm, not the exception.

Enbridge speaks publicly and often about "core values - Integrity, Safety and Respect" and then doesn't follow them. There are a lot of personal agendas that are in conflict with the core values.

The pace of work is dynamic and lots of decisions must be made, but there is often "paralysis by analysis" and a vetting process that requires 100 levels to get approval for anything.

Enbridge pays very well, but the expectation is that you work long hours and weekends. God forbid there is a pipeline release, because then you will be privileged to be deployed to remote work locations to work 18-hour days (with no compensation) in adverse conditions.

If you are only concerned about the fat paycheque and good benefits, this is the place for you.

Great working atmosphere and very safety oriented. The boss was very hard working and flexible. Working in a team environment was great and had the opportunity to share and contribute to bettering processes.
